Event Details

While Easter Sunday, March 31 2013, will include the traditional egg hunts and feasts, this year will be extra special as people can immerse themselves in colors and celebrating the kick-off of spring with Holi. Whatever your faith, enjoying Bhangra music and dancing with NYC Bhangra Dance Company free of charge will make this occasion a festive one. Event attendees are encouraged to “play Holi” by smearing folks with color, eating laddoos (traditional Indian sweet), enjoying performances, and having a good time.

On March 31st thousands of people will gather at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza below the United Nations for a day-long celebration of Holi. In its fourth year, NYC Bhangra has teamed up with Time Warner Cable, to host “Holi Hai in NYC”. The event has also been supported by Incredible India (Govt. of India) in past years. .

Festival attendees can WIN dance troupe performances by NYC Bhangra to Kerala style massages courtesy of Fine Living Ayurveda New York who will provide the Spa packages as part of the event raffles. Kiwi Collection, the world’s largest and most diverse curated collection of luxury hotels, is sponsoring a 7-night stay at The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur in Rajasthan and a 2-night stay at The Lodge at Woodloch (Hawley, PA) in an online auction to support Holi Hai 2013.
